In an episode filmed for the launch of her 14th season, the talk show host schooled her viewers on the importance of being honest. The clip was seen on live TV last fall, but has recently been uploaded to EllenTube. Prior to the episode, the producers set up a table of Ellen swag outside the studio with a sign reading "One item per person." Using the honor system, she encouraged her audience members to take a souvenir before heading into the show. Little did the viewers know, however, they were being filmed while they made their selections. You know where this is going, don't you?

As the episode began, Ellen told her viewers that she was impressed with the overall honesty of the crowd, and she even gifted a hat to a woman who respected the rules despite the fact that she was tempted to take it along with her allowed item.

One woman, however, stood out from the crowd. A viewer named Nancy chose to ignore the rules completely and take a handful of souvenirs from the table. Aaaaand Ellen called her out for it – in front of the entire audience.

As for Nancy's reaction, she seemed embarrassed by her behavior, but laughed along with the rest of the viewers. "Let that be a lesson to you," Ellen said lightly. "You think nobody's watching you, and you need to be a good person." And the host wasn't done there; after scolding her, she directed Nancy to sit in "Ellen Jail" on stage. Of course, it seems as though all of this was in good fun, and Nancy took her public shaming in stride. Check out the video below, and let it be a reminder to always do the right thing – hidden camera or not.
